    I just picked up a 74 apollo. The car is clean, but needs alot of interior work. I'm wondering what Nova parts interchange.

    I need the following

    Carpet, sill plates, and seat belts which I'm sure the nova stuff will work.

    All weatherstripping, front to rear. anybody know what swaps over? I hope everything.

    I also need a dashpad, badly, and a glove box liner.


    I probably need some odds and ends, but thats all I can think of now.

    so my question is, what interchanges? Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

    Joe, I have a 74 and a 72 Nova parts car. I will check if the glove box liner is good. If it is, I will ship it to you. Give me a day to check.

    Joe,
    I compared the 72 Nova parts car glove box liner with my 73 Apollo liner. The Mounting holes are the same, but they have different clearance cut-outs. Could be for the A/C duct work. The Nova is non A/C....the Apollo has A/C. The 74 did not have one. I will post a picture as soon as I track down the camera.

    Apollo had ac or non ac cars, all interior fits each other door pulls, panels must retain buick emblem to new pads, carpets, rear defroster option, cargo hatch area same, all foam seals same , glass all same, doors same. the rear tail light sub frame is NOVA when lights are removed. donts: front end , rear tail lights assm, bumpers area not any same Omega, Ventura, or Nova all had different bumpers if being true buick. NO 350 chevy motor was ever in a X car buick, as in the white GSX pictured in list buick has dist up front. Buick put in only x motor buicks. The bucket seats from all 71-80 nova omega ventura and buick are the same frames, however, the skins for apollo had 11 rows in skins not like others with 7 or 9 rows , no one makes buick skins for x car buckets. I have a 73 with AC, 350 converted to 455 buick, many parts from steves nova site. Please keep you car buick by tag and reverting correct to judging , if others fit ok, but dont use chevy motors or bumpers etc. 455 do fit is tight but others here can help with that if you wish. craig
